I think it will be challenging to arrange and gain credit if she doesn’t have enough classes, at the CCC.
She needs to know the prices of SBCC= ~$34K per year/ UCSanta Barbara $67K per year.
Rents are expensive for a college student in Santa Barbara. She needs to visit.
We’ve had two months of extremely rainy and cold weather with floods. It’s not always warm. The ocean water temps near SB are cold. So Cal is not what you would call “tropical”. (I was in La Jolla this morning and it was 39 degrees F.) It’s sunny but it does get chilly. If she’s okay with that, then she needs to figure out how she’s going to pay her OOS fees.
